You could get away with a single adult in a 4'x2' enclosure, if space is a major issue. Ideally a 6' by 2'or3' enclosure would be best for a single adult. Large water dish, I have about a 2'2' water dish for the snake with an active fountain that circulates the water.

I've seen pics on here that show some FWC's climbing in limbs, but this is truly optional as the species could probably take or leave the arboreal side of life. Therefore I keep my cages at about 18" to 24" high for the species.
